Matias Soulé, Lionel Scaloni freeze Italy'Italy

Argentina technical commissioner Lionel Scaloni, speaking at a press conference on the eve of the friendly match with Puerto Rico, quashed rumors regarding the possibility of seeing Matias Soulé in an Italy jersey. “Soulé summoned by’Italy? I don&#8217t think it&#8217s possible, he&#8217s been in our sights for quite some time”.

“We see in Soulé the future of the Argentine national team and soon he will have his chances – added the Albiceleste coach -. I have been following his performance for a long time and I know he is growing a lot, if he continues like this there will be no problems”.

The suggestion of seeing Roma’s striker in the Azzurri jersey had increased in recent days with statements from his agent Martin Guastadisegno to ‘LaRoma24.it’: “He’s the only one of the young Argentinians who has not yet been given a chance. He is becoming a leader in an important square like Rome, he deserves an’opportunity given the continuity of performance he is having. He dreams of playing a World Cup”.

“I don&#8220t know what could happen if the situation does not unblock. Soulé is Italian-Argentinean so the possibility of answering the Azzurri call-up exists” Guastadisegno had added.
